No,

Remaster of ARK 1 (which is now officially only available in very specific ways or offline)

[Durkan]

It looks like a remake with better graphics

It's not a remake, it's been made very clear it's a remaster with minor changes on the maps.

Mostly its graphical updates and use of UE5

There's a SERIOUS amount of bs behind these reviews.

Take it with a grain of salt.

Counter-Strike GO changed the engine and now they call it Counter-Strike 2. Exactly same maps, exactly same game...

big difference they didnt charge $45 just for a graphics update to crash every 20 minutes

this isn't a remaster
It's a remake
Remaster takes old graphics and touches up textures up to modern standards
A remake uses new or old assets and bring them up to modern graphic standards.
Why so many people are upset their video cards can't handle an unoptimized next-gen remake of an already buggy game.

There are some people who bought the game just to review bomb it and then refund it. They were bragging about it on the forums yesterday.

nope it is an updated Ark Survival Evolved with a the new game engine. It does have all previous A-SE DLC's with it but if you already own that and all teh DLC's then forking out that price for something you already own is a no no.

Probably wait for a 50-60% discount or better before i even contemplate it and by then maybe all these game issues that A-SE had when it launched (for its first year or 2) would be ironed out a bit (probably not).

I bet when Ark 2 comes out the official servers will cease for this game and be moved to Ark 2 anyways (just like they were with A-SE to A-SA).

A shtty remake with FPS issues that was going to be free but they said "Lets put a price on a bad remake of a 6 year old game that was going to be free!"

It's an 8 year old game and it needed an overhaul. Generally we pay people for their work. But you are entitled to your opinion.

I guess I agree I just don't like that they weren't upfront about it. Also, I think it's def worth it if all the DLCs will be free imo. But again just kinda irks me that we were told one thing and it was changed last min

They said it was going to be free and then changed opinion a little before release, that in my opinion is a bad praxis. Plus the "overhaul" made it worse, yeah, it has new engine and looks pretty, can we talk about the 20-30 fps on low settings? The one server limit for steam account?
